# Introduction The project aims to build a system to authenticate genuine products and track their origins using NFC chips and blockchain technology. Each product will contain an NFC tag with a unique ID stored. Mobile apps can scan these tags and verify against a blockchain record to determine authenticity. **Key Technologies:** * **NFC chips:** To store and retrieve unique product identifiers * **Mobile app:** To read NFC tags and connect to blockchain * **Blockchain network:** To store product IDs and validation records transparently * **Smart contracts:** Business logic to authenticate NFC IDs via blockchain * **Cloud hosting:** To host backend API and off-chain components **Key Features:** * Scan NFC tags on products using a mobile app to extract unique ID * Check ID against blockchain record to authenticate products * Transparently track validation history of each product on blockchain * Trace product origins back using supply chain data on blockchain * Tamper-proof system to build customer trust. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
